Truro City boss Lee Hodges has praised his new-look squad ahead of today’s Blue Square Bet South bank holiday clash at Weston-super-Mare (Woodspring Stadium, 1500).
Hodges’ injury-hit side drew 1-1 with pace setters Salisbury City on Saturday.
The City player-manager said: “I would not like to pick out any one player in particular because they are all performing above and beyond.
“The two full backs, Dan Green and Ben Williams, are both new to this level and so is our young striker Kieffer Moore and yet they are taking it all in their stride and, if anything, over achieving.
“But it would be wrong to pick out those three without mentioning the rest of the lads because every one of them has dug in and, to be quite honest, surprised me with how well they are doing all things considered.
“It’s been a steep learning curve, we have a small squad and have been unlucky with injuries and yet all of them have given their all when asked to step up to the plate.
“We’re doing so well and I cannot praise the team – all of them – enough.
“Salisbury came to us top of the table having won their opening two games and so we are the first side to take a point off them.
“Now we have to go again at Weston, and it will be tough.
“I like what Craig Laird has done there. They play a different way and last season were one of the sides that really impressed me. I read nothing into the way they have started.”
